How to Use the Freshworks MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add Freshworks tools to a CrewAI agent?

Install crewaitools. You can pass the Vinkius URL directly into your agent definition using the mcps array. The agent will automatically discover all available tools.

Q: Can I restrict which Freshworks tools a CrewAI agent can use?

Yes. Use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. This lets you give listtickets to your support agent while keeping listdeals strictly assigned to your sales agent.

Q: Who can see the helpdesk ticket content my agents read?

Only your authenticated client. When an agent calls getticket, Vinkius processes the payload inside a locked-down V8 Isolate. The data travels over an encrypted tunnel and the server instance vanishes immediately after the request completes.

Perplexity

Assign helpdesk tools to specific MCP agents

Give your tier-one support agent immediate access to the queue using `list_tickets` and `get_ticket`. You can configure a CrewAI monitor agent to poll the helpdesk continuously. When a new issue pops up, it hands the context to a response agent. Combine this with `list_agents` and `list_groups` to build a dispatch system. The AI evaluates the ticket content and autonomously decides which human team needs to take over if the issue requires escalation.

Cross-reference CRM data autonomously

A dedicated MCP agent can map out a customer's entire history with `list_crm_contacts` and `list_helpdesk_contacts`. While one agent handles the chat, the researcher pulls previous interactions and feeds them into the shared memory. This eliminates blind spots. The response agent knows exactly who they are talking to because the background crew already mapped the contact IDs across both systems.

Monitor pipeline health with specialized crews

Build a sales operations crew powered by `list_deals` and `list_accounts`. A financial agent can scan open deals daily through the MCP Server, while a secondary agent checks `list_companies` to verify account details. They operate sequentially. The data gatherer pulls the raw numbers from the server, and the analyst agent writes a daily summary report for your Slack channel. No human intervention required.

Setup guide

Set up Freshworks MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Freshworks tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Freshworks Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Freshworks data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Freshworks access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Freshworks transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Freshworks Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Freshworks data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Freshworks access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Freshworks transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Yes. Use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and apply a tool_filter. This lets you give list_tickets to your support agent while keeping list_deals strictly assigned to your sales agent.

They do. If your researcher agent pulls an account history using list_accounts, that context enters the shared memory pool. The response agent can use those details without making redundant API calls.

The framework supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP. For remote Vinkius endpoints, HTTP is the standard path.
